Green Tea and Yogurt Facial

Ingredients:

1 cup boiling water

1 regular or detoxifying green tea bag

½ cup full fat yogurt (greek-style or regular)

Washcloth

Empty spritzing or fine misting bottle

Method:

Brew your fresh green tea. Remove the tea bag and set the tea aside to cool to a warm but not hot temperature.

Gently break open the tea bag to expose the tea leaves. Press the tea leaves against your face as evenly as possible. Let sit for five minutes. Don’t massage the tea leaves into the skin just yet!

Grab the yogurt and paint it onto your face with the tea leaves. It should make a sort of scrubbing paste. Massage the paste evenly around your face and let sit for another 5 minutes.

Use a warm washcloth to continually wipe the face clean. You may need to wipe 2 or 3 times to remove all of the yogurt/green tea mixture. Let your face dry.

Pour the cooled green tea into the spritzing or misting bottle and gently spray the face and neck. Let dry.

Your skin should feel softer, smoother, and hydrated!

Note: If you want to add some extra antibacterial and hydrating benefits, mix 2 tsp of honey in with the yogurt prior to application. You made need some extra rinsing due to the stickiness of the honey, but your face will feel extra smooth and hydrated.
